Lord Lansdowne is Indignant.

OTTAWA, March 10.-Lord Lansdowne is highly indignant at a cablegram from En- gland to the effect hat he is presenting his Irish tenants. He states that the local board which proposed the scheme for the erection of number of cottages upon his estate at the expense of the rate payers is entirely in the hands of the Nationalists. He resisted the scheme because the tenants insisted on erecting their buildings in the neighborhood of his own castle and also because they were unnecessary. Already the charge of harsh treatment toward his tenants has had ten dency to lower his popularity among the
 Irish people in Canada, which makes him all the more anxious to give immediate denial to all such statements the moment they appear:

Knocked Out by a Spider.

BOSTON, March 10.-Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, fought Jack Williams tonight at Westerly, R. I. There were thirty six rounds and Weir won the fight, which was for $400. Only few persons were present. Boston sport was referee. The first five rounds were lively, but the fight was then pretty tame until the last one. Williams showed great activity, but the Spider felled him by a tremendous blow on the nose. When Will Hams got on his feet he seemed dazed and fell an easy victim to the Spider, who quick ly knocked him out. A purse of $100 was made up for Williams.

The Mayor Of Columbus Binds Mrs.
 Parsons over for Trial.
 COLUMBUS, O., March 10.-Mrs. Lucy Parsons was arraigned before the Mayor at o'clock this afternoon. The court was crowded. The doors were finally locked as a matter of safety. Two local attorneys ap- peared for Mrs. Parsons. The case was called immediately and the Mayer publicly announced that the defendant would be com mitted and placed under $500 bond. "With- out hearing?" asked an attorney. tWith- out hearing" said the Mayor Mrs. Par sons was then taken to jail on the following mittimus:

 Therefore, in the name of the State of Ohio, command you to receive the said Lucy Parsons in- to your custody in the jail, there to remain until she is discharged by due course of law.
 Given under my hand and seal this 9th day of March, 1887. (Signed)

Another Suicide.

At Hockey Valley in an adjoining
county, there was buried last week a
prominent man who might be yet an
ornament to society, had he not neg
lected the advice of his friends to such
an extent that he can be said to have
died by his own wish. Mr.. Jones had
at first slight cold, neglected, it be-
comes serious. His friends advised
the great Cough Remedy, Symphyx.
He refused every appeal by his friends,
As natural result he grew worse and
died. Ye that are suffering with
coughs and colds beware that you do
not lay yourself liable to the same
charge and fill premature grave, but
take Symphyx at once and live.

Gov. Taylor and the Surplus.

Governor Taylors first message to
the Legislature has given mortal Of
tense TO few men in Tennessee. The
sentence that has aroused their
ire is as follows;
"My sense OF duty to the children OF
the State compels me to say that if
there lisa surplus of money in the ma
tional treasury, not applicable to the
payment of the national debt, the APP
preparation of the same for this pur-
pose, stripped of federal supervision,
would be an inestimable blessing to
them"
This is no endorsement of the Blair
Bill. We assert that there is not an
idea in the above that is in conflict
with the well known and expressed
sentiments of Gov. Taylor before his
election. He does not believe that the
General Government has the right to
collect taxes for any other purpose
than to pay the expenses Of the Gov
eminent economically administered.
But different principle applies to
the surplus already in the treasury.
This surplus belongs to the people and
it's return to them for the purpose Of
educating the poor children OF the
country, stripped of Federal superyis
ion, would be blessing to the coun
try.
Under Andrew Jackson's admins
tration forty-fve million dollars, sur
plus in the National treasury, were re
turned to the States. 1t would be fal
better for the people Of the country t.
return few millions of the money
now lying idle and useless in the treas
ury, to be used for educational pur
poses, instead of squandering it tt
build forts and war vessels in time o
profound peace.
This idea is not popular with TIT
pre-Adamites, the moss-backs and TIN
fossils who belong to the silurian pc
Rod, and who are struggling along
thousand miles behind the army o
progress, But they had just as wei
understood that the hundreds o
thousands of poor children through
out the country who are growing III
in ignorance, must be educated an,
that if there is a surplus in the Ma
tional treasury, not applicable to tn
payment OF the public debt, the pee
pie are willing and anxious to receiv
it for educational purposes. There i
nothing un-democratic in this an
nothing that any reasonable MAJ
ought to complain Of.

The office Of Coal Oil Inspector for
Nashville is worth about $4,000 a year.
The Governor without any reserva-
ton promised the office to Louis Nc
Whittier and there has been no state
ment from him to the effect that he
did not intend to fill his promise,
The action of McWhirter in throwing
the fat Office back into the Governors
face has caused a big sensation in
political rcles.-KnorviHe Tribune.
There is not one word of truth il
either of the above statements.
Governor Taylor did not promise
the Office Of Coal Oil Inspector to Louis
McWhirter.
1t was definitely and positively set
tied several days before McWhirter'
withdrawal that he would not get tn
appointment
His alledged declinahou of the Of

or's administration was not Demo
cratic enough, for his tastes, was
cheap attempt to prevent hasty al
cent to the ceiling.

Duel in North Carolina.

The following, which dates from RAJ
leigh, North Carolina, tells how two
distinguished men settled little per-
sonal matter
DIR. w. G. Wilcox is the Republi-
can leader of Ashe county and Mr.
John Baker is one ofthe leading Dem
ocrats OF the same county. During
the campaign last ialI bitter feud
sprang up between the two over dis
cussion OF political questions AS the
campaign in Ashe county progressed,
it was with the greatest difficulty that
duel was then prevented. The cleo
ton came off and the feud has been
kept up with increasing bitterness
ever since. Wednesday as DR.. Wilcox
was returning from visit to a patient
in the country he met Baker. The
latter stopped the doctor and told him
that he, Baker, could not live any
longer without a settlement OF the
difficulty according to the code. Will
cox replied that he was ready and anx-
ious to accommodate Mr. Baker at any
time and in any manner that was de-
sired. Baker asked Wilcox if he was
armed. Wilcox answered, eyes"
Each man pulled his pistol and it was
examined by the other and handed
back to the owner. Fifteen PAGES were
then marked off and shooting began.
Five rounds were fired, and on the
last round Baker was shot through the
head and MORALLY wounded Wilcox
then gave Baker the benefit OF his skill
as physician and carried him home.
Baker Immediately sent for his friends
and made statement embodying
these facts, and stated that he pressed
the duel on Wilcox and that Wilcox
only acted in self-defence. Wilcox
had two bullet holes in his hat and
one in his coat
